Before Soto, mithril and wood stacks were around 1g. Soto related items require massive amounts of research notes and mithril is the number one component to get those, hence the price spike. Why elder wood tanked? I can only speculate, but it's likely most players decided to go for Obsidian armor, legendary Relic, etc that requires research notes. Elder wood sinks like Gen2 weapons are not as popular right now.

We see you Grimm, and maybe we'll have the chance to kill you and ofc, throw some catas (no cheap crap for a men of your stature ;).

Have you tried WvW ppt train? Because it's rather similar to Open World. Just run around capturing towers and camps. You may die here and there, but you don't lose anything. Find a proper WvW build and equipment (cheap exotic is mighty fine). Firebrand, Chrono, Spellbreaker are highly recommend for survivability. If you realize your group is being "farmed" by the same enemies, leave map. Avoid EBG like the plague.

I don't know about theory crafting but lag definitely doesn't affect all classes the same way. Cast based specs like Chronos and Firebrand are obnoxiously hard to play with heavy lag. Instant skills seems to work better.

Sorry, but 1 and 2 won't change anything. Guilds will just split as much as they need to get the buff. Since most shared skills have a 5 man cap limit, squad size is nearly irrelevant. Running 1 squad of 50 as a single group or 5 groups of 10 is basically the same thing except extremely annoying for the commander. In fact, is going to be even worse for PUG tags, since organized guilds will pre organize the squads and the public tag can't.

It's probably RNG. I thought the same thing, it worked nicely first few tries. Later, I kept going, burned a stack for 20 mins boost. Another stack, similar results. Opened and closed the UI to see if it "reset". Nothing seemed to actually bring back old results. I'll stop using the gobbler until we have confirmation this is the new reality or it's unintended and they'll fix it.

For anyone on Mesmer rifle, I already had tier 1 completed before March 19 patch, but not WV achievement. I had to complete the next tier and then it worked, got the WV achievement.

QoL is great, but the output is abysmal compared with previous version. Granted, very small sample of a couple of stacks. If that's the case, not cool, we paid gems for the gobbler.

This has been discussed multiple times over the years. As it is, many players barely defend objectives outside SMC because there's no incentive. Without gliding and warclaw, even less people would try to defend. Attackers are usually numerically superior. Why nerf defenders even more? Then you have a lot of practical problems, when do you disable warclaw, and glide? near the objective, on the objective itself, on the map section as a whole?(oh boy, the crashes). And finally, it's not going to happen for the simple reason it's not worth the development time, it doesn't add anything to the game mode and definitely doesn't bring more engagement.

Rifle Chrono. If the coefficients are adequate they are going to create a monster support.

I'm surprised not many mentioned performance. If I had one wish, it would be Anet doing something about the kitten lag. The whole reason I play WvW are the massive battles between multiple teams. I do my fair share of roaming, but has never "clicked" like two/three similarly strong squads trying to win. Second, re-orient the game direction in a way comped squads are not that much stronger than similarly numbered PUGs. I've been in both sides, it's boring either way.

Ok Anet, if you don't know what to do with Scourge is fine, just don't call it "balance". Scourge was already phased out from competitive WvW groups after the massive F4 nerf, but in March will be completely deleted from the game mode.

Thing is, we are comparing current Worlds, established along a decade with something as incipient as WR shards and that's a bit unfair. Personally, I think WR will be better than the current system. They are going to release a sixth guild slot (or something equivalent, it really doesn't matter as long as you can pick who you play with). Your small guild will be able to choose other guilds and even individual players that fit your ethos. Over time, we will consistently play with the core players we want in our side, that's our new "world", much closer and personal than current worlds.

Everyone is talking about gold value of crafting the legendary relic could be cheaper than current legendary runes cost. And this will probably be the case. But what about the time component? Because if we go by trinket/armor style, we are looking at a significant time investment on top of the gold. Even Regalia amulet, zero gold cost, took us quite a bit of time between all those episodes, metas and JP.

6. You don't have to participate in this FOMO frenzy we are seeing now. It's a gamble, maybe unlocking the legendary relic will be as painful as Vision but maybe not. If you do participate, don't wait until the last few days, all those players who are farming mats but are still short will be buying and competing for the same resources.
